Man, I can’t believe I still care about pokemon. I think I skipped a generation somewhere, but black was pretty cool.

Anyways, pokemon generation 6 is here…. and while I never choose the fire starter, I know that all the fire starters since gen 3 have evolved to be fire/fighting. Those of you who think this new fire type starter can’t possibly have a fire/fighting final evolution….. remember that all the other first stage fire starters also looked pretty animal-like too (except charmander who looks like a kinda dinosaur, but seriously). I kinda want a Punchdog though. Alternate name which was more pokmon-y but less funny: Lupunch.

Fire starters have always been the worst for speedruns, and insofar as they exist in competition they’re usually the worst of the three (corrolary, Charizard was pretty bangin’, but only after his type change and the inclusion of Fly into his moveset, so not during *his* gen).

I thought they’ve shown it in one of the trailers.
It’s indeed: Fire/Psychic, Water/Fighting and Grass/Dark.
Too bad, Water also has Fighting involved. I would’ve taken it, but now I’ll take Grass/Dark.

Eh, I stopped following/caring about Pokemon after Generation 3. Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to like it, but between the Pokemon getting uglier and less creative with every generation, and the general lack of decent goals – I just can’t like Pokemon as much as I used to.

All that being said, when (I’m sure they’ll be forced to do it eventually) they finally make a game that enables the fusing of Pokemon, I shall come back to the series, and proceed to combine every Pokemon there is with Snorlax: the best Pokemon.
